integral of x/(x^2+a)

\int \frac{x}{x ^{2} + a} d x

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + a + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x}{x ^{2} + a} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

= \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x^{2} + a

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + a

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + a + C

\int (5 + 4 x)^{100} d x

\int \frac{x ^{2} + 2}{2 x} d x

3 e^{x}

\int 5^{x} csc^{2} (5^{x} + 2) d x

\int \frac{1}{8 y - 5} d y
